If you have been bin diving in vinyl stores you know a good one from a ridiculous one. This place…read morehas zero selection. All bargain bin stuff and asking collector prices. There was a 67 reprinted no name jazz record from a non-famous label, nobody known at all, and the price was $68. I should have taken pics. Abusive BS. I went in thinking I would buy $300 or more of records after hearing about this place. I left empty handed. The prices are insulting. There were Target 140g "new" records asking $47 when I can buy the exact same record, at Target, for $20!!! Avoid this place like AIDS. Why is it that when a chump watches a YT video about vinyl being popular again that all of a sudden grandmas Vivaldi's Four Seasons suddenly becomes a $700 collectors piece? It isn't! CHUMP.

They have quite a large selection of Funko Pops, movie posters, cardboard cutouts of stars in various role/costumes. For the matchbox collector there are plenty of vintage cars. They got a good selection of vintage toys too. So why the two stars you ask? Prices! VTG has a great selection but prices are up to double the MSRP. The item I was looking at was almost $ 100 over in stock online prices. Double what the manufacture sells it for. I looked at few other new items and found similar high markups. I believe profit is not a dirty word, exorbitant prices are. I'm all about instant gratification, but not at those prices. Pass this one up.

How To Buy Records At "We Buy Music"…read more ~ Overview The venue has a large selection of LPs, mostly in uncategorized boxes marked "New Arrivals". The owner is nice enough, but I don't chat. Other reviewers say he knows things, or use other descriptions. My preference is rare jazz instrumentals or rare Americana on a defunct record label that is not on the internet. I need to research thoroughly before I buy. After several visits I finally bought some rare albums. I was very curious about pricing. ~How To Deal With No Price Tags "New Arrivals" are not tagged. It's a tough way to shop. To the store's credit, prices fluctuate and these LPs might stay on the shelves for several years, and it's a one-man operation. Connect to Discogs.com, find your record, and look at the "Median" price, or seller "total" price that includes shipping. Now you're armed with pricing knowledge. ~ Procurement Procedure You Should Know Take the LPs to the desk, then browse some more because it takes several minutes per album to price it. The owner checks the disc, adds sleeves if missing, then goes online (perhaps Discogs or some other database) for pricing info, then places a red price tag on the cover. His rates hover around the median on Discogs, but We Buy Music is not cheap per se. However, you already did your research and you know what is a good price or not. Some LPs are already tagged and returned to the bins unsold. Some of these returns are overpriced. ~ Make The Acquisition You'll get a store stamp card that accrues $10 credit for every $100 spent. You'll spend a lot on rarities. You might not get a receipt. ~ Open Seven Days Morning To Dusk The store is open often with hardly any customers. It's an apparent warehouse as storefront. With the owner's knowledge and large collection, he probably sells online through several portals although the business card has no web address. ~ We Buy Music Has The Largest Selection, But No Prices Or Sales The vendor is tops for selection, but no true bargains. Sometimes Nob Hill Music, Mecca, and Antiques and Things have sales, and albums are tagged. If you're lucky, you might find a rare LP at a flea market or thrift store, but don't count on it. ~ I'm Not A Vinyl Collector Or Audiophile My priority is the music, not the medium. I buy rare LPs, digitize them to wav on good gear, then resell them. If it's on Spotify/Tunepat, I'll download it there and add it to my collection. I'm not an audiophile, I don't sit in front of fabulous speakers and listen to every nuance. MP3 is fine: at home, on the bus, low riding, etc.

Unfortunately, though, most things are out of my budget. This is not surprising given the curation and high average quality of item per stall, but it leaves me miffed when something is marked up so high past my understanding of its worth. Still, one day I will be coming back for that taxidermy antelope that has been staring my down for years now.

Be careful of the descriptions used on their pieces of furniture. We bought a "teak bookcase"; on…read moredelivery, the bookcase is teak veneer over MDF and the cardboard backing does not match the woodgrain of the teak. We should've used our phone flashlight and gone over the item much more closely. The owner said that if it was teak, it would have been labeled "solid teak." I think it should have been described as "teak veneer." I wonder if the credit card charge can be disputed, as that is my only recourse. It the owner feels that the average used furniture shopper knows the nuances of his labeling, in my opinion he is wrong. I am leaving this review for those shoppers that are not savvy to this and will ask further questions before purchasing. We won't return to either of the stores.

Perfect. I found one lone copy, but where are the other 39 that she mentioned? I needed 3 copies, 2 as gifts for Christmas and an upcoming birthday. I looked high and low. Nothing. So I approached the older man upstairs. He finally exclaimed, "Ohhhh, the rest of these are being retained for a class, so what I can do is order for pickup for you." I appreciated the kind service, but I had to head back home to the southeastern part of the state soon. It's two stories and quite spacious even with many others shopping. The cafe towards the back was super loud. This is a nice location in what is referred to as Uptown Albuquerque, NM, at the Coronado Center Mall.

This is a good place to come for books if you're near Coronado Mall. We are members of their…read moreloyalty scheme too, as we buy lots of books. If you are like us in that sense, the loyalty scheme is good value. There are two reasons we are not fans of their coffee shop: first, they have one of those "dark pattern" card payment devices. It makes it very hard when you are paying to leave no tip. You have to keep hitting the damn "no tip" part of the screen over and over for it to work. You should know that this is a deliberate choice on the part of the management. When they buy the card readers, they can choose ones that make it hard for someone NOT to leave a tip. It's a dark pattern you can investigate on YouTube. And it's a really evil thing to do. Shame on the sleazy manager who made that decision! It should be illegal and they should be punished. Second, and this is a problem going back YEARS, if you get a hot drink, it is very likely it will be super hot, like nuclear hot, practically burning through the cup. It will be at least twenty minutes before it's a safe temperature to drink. You think I'm kidding? I'm not, and you've been warned. PLUR, baby! Bonus complaint: My God in heaven, they interrupt with harsh and seemingly unnecessary messages for staff over the loudspeaker very, very often. I know it's not a library, but it is a bookstore. And people are trying to engage with books. Shhhhhut up, already!
